  1. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well yes, what I meant was the fact that they had us use anything at all. I was told most places (other states) make you use a dry wash cloth and pretend to use soap and water because those manaquins...

  2. I resigned my first poopy nursing job but I have a question?

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I some what agree but the expected social behavior from the previous professional environments I have been in up until now have engrained the "you must say good morning to every single person you walk...

  3. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Dearest Esme, you are in my thoughts, I wish you a speedy recovery. I feel compelled to tell you that there are very few of your caliber out there. You are real gem, who combines wisdom, empathy,...

  4. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, that is exactly what I thought and what I wore yesterday. I was questioning myself because a CNA I know took the test 6 months ago told me that you can "lose points" if you don't wear the right...

  5. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed, yoga pants and all! Oh my goodness it was cold, wet and rainy here yesterday, even the chronic flip flop wearing kind wouldn't have

  6. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This really has nothing to do with a work/ interview type situation. This is hours and hours of waiting; taking a standardized test + waiting for your turn to perform 5 skills in 30 mins and having 4...

  7. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If we got Modified Bed Bath as a skill we had to actually wash who they paired you up with. Face, one arm, shoulder, hand and underarm. Same with foot care. My (one) foot was washed, rinsed, dried...

  8. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Side note: I can beleive they actually had us use real soap and water on the manaquins! I had peri-care (only skill not on a real person), positioning a client in the side, weighing an ambulatory...

  9. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did pass thank you! Good thing I wore the shoes that I did, because I had to play the part of a "patient receiving foot care" and the poor girl performing the skill was running out of time. If I...

    To clarify, The Red Cross is who taught the CNA class and we are not taking the test at The Red Cross. It's at some testing site in Center

  12. HIV needle stick

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Kyliemarie8588's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry this happened to you! This doesn't seem like the place that will get you the type of response you need. There are too many factors involved and if you don't put every single detail of...

  13. Who else is waiting for an Acceptance letter?

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to nursingjourney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted in to one program but it's my last choice. I am waiting to hear back from 2 other schools and was not accepted from 2 schools. I am so anxious to hear back from the others its...

  14. Does. Anyone like their CNA job??

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Cathylady's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You sound like a wonderful person so I want to be as honest as possible to help you make an informed decision. I think in some cases CNA's who work in a hospital setting are happier than those who...

    Hello, I'm new here, I'm seeking opinions on the best strategy for me to go about getting into a good Nursing school now that I'm finishing up prerequisites and seem to not be getting into any choice...

  20. Not Accepted. Advice on transfer path

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely missed the deadline for Temple and Abington. Holy Family is an option because I emailed them already. I will definitely look into the rest. Update: Villanova reached out to me and is...

  21. Not Accepted. Advice on transfer path

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are absolutely right, transferring directly into a BSN is challenging and extremely competitive. I believe that's what the Transfer specialist at my current school was trying to say, that I need...

  22. Not Accepted. Advice on transfer path

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't looked into La Salle at all, I thought they were too competitive so I didn't try but I will take a look.

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Heathermaizy you might be right about the Hesi, I was under the impression that some of the schools offered the Hesi testing but I definitely didn't ask about it at the meeting. The one school I'm...
